TF2 Field of View and Zoom Settings Explained
fov_desired, viewmodel_fov, and misc FOV modules—what is safe in cfg vs what third-party tools change.
`fov_desired` (typically 90–110) widens world view legally. Viewmodel FOV reduces weapon obstruction. External misc modules may push beyond Valve defaults—higher ban risk on some servers.
Sniper and zoom
Sniper rifles use scoped FOV; understand charge times and sensitivity separately from world FOV. No cfg replaces skill shots.
Streaming note
Wide FOV can look unusual on stream captures. Read overlay and streaming before broadcasting.
